Agriculture is threatened by ever increasing temperatures and this trend is predicted to continue for the near and distant future. The negative impact of rising temperatures on agri-food systems is also compounded by the erratic and highly variable rainfall in most parts of southern Africa. Minimum and maximum temperatures’ variability and trend analysis were undertaken using daily time series data derived from 23 meteorological stations spread across Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

This toolkit covers topics such as: the impact of climate change on African agriculture and food systems; how we can transform African agriculture and food systems for a more sustainable and climate resilient future; the important national, regional, continental, and global initiatives to promote climate-smart agriculture, in Africa and worldwide; how to investigate and report key developments to target specific stakeholders, decision makers, networks towards desired behavior change; how to engage and report upcoming policy events (e.g., COP28); and how to engage with AICCRA partners on h

Rice production is an integral commodity to global food security, but it also contributes considerably to greenhouse
gas emissions (GHG). There are a variety of options to mitigate GHG emissions from paddy rice production but the
impacts and opportunities to finance such activities are not well-known or well-understood for global investors, and
much remains to be done to ensure that international climate finance can be used to attract private sector

Malawi has suffered from weak economic growth since its independence in 1964. Over 50 percentof the population live below the poverty line, unable to produce enough or to otherwise obtain suffi cient income to meet all of their basic needs.

However, with continuing population growth, the average landholding size for smallholder farming households is declining, resulting in many being unable to produce sufficient food to meet their own needs.

Agriculture in India contributes close to 20% of GDP and employs 44% of the workforce. Of these agricultural workers, 55% are women, and this percentage is likely to increase as women have fewer opportunities than men to find non-farm jobs. On top of that, women face significantly more barriers and constraints in accessing natural resources such as water and land because – despite significant legal and social efforts – the land rights of women are not widely acknowledged.
